Nov 8
The walk from beneath the ashes
Dignity in representing the armed forces
Mission fulfilled until needed again
Reflecting back in the achievement
The Battle
The loss
The uncertainty
Destruction always a reminder
Wounds and scars the awards of courage
Every stance devoted to sacrifice
Every footstep and head up showing the world you are a true soldier
The Proud Military Uniform
The American Flag being the shield for all to see
The breezing wave
America rises and chants, “America the Beautiful”
The same chant extends to all Soldiers
Thank you for your service on every Veterans Day
Every Salute is appreciation coming your way.
